CHICAGO — A guardian is suing Kensington Place Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, citing alleged insufficient measures were taken to prevent injuries and negligence.
Tim Jones, as plenary guardian for Donnie Jones, filed a complaint on April 26 in Cook County Circuit Court against the defendant alleging Donnie Jones suffered injuries from a fall, including an acute left subdural hemorrhage which required emergency surgery, causing the deterioration of his overall health. The plaintiff holds Kensington Place responsible because the facility allegedly failed to provide adequate medical assistance and supervision to address Donnie Jones' risk of falling.
The plaintiff seeks judgment against the defendant in an amount greater than $50,000 plus court costs. He is represented by Ashley Hadler Herschberger and Jacob D. Radecki of Levin & Perconti in Chicago.
Cook County Circuit Court Case number 2017L004233

Man's guardian says Kensington Place nursing home failed to address risk of falls
Falls are the biggest fear in nursing homes and that's why it's so important to keep people in their own home as long as possible. Nursing homes have too many people to properly take care of them.
